Question -  I want to know of what use are acorns. A friend uses a
machine like a vacuume to pick them up and takes them to be sold.
He says they are dumped into a water bath, the bad acorns sink and the
good ones float.
He will not tell us where he takes them and what they are used for.
So of course I want the question answered.
